A new year is upon us, which means all-new reading material. 2019 was a great year for books, with writers like Taffy Brodesser-Akner, Sally Rooney, Bernardine Evaristo, and Helen Oyeyemi taking the literary world by storm. Still, we have a sneaky feeling that 2020 could shape up to be just as good for bookworms; below, find the books we’re most excited to read next year.

Uncanny Valley

Wiener’s account of living and working in the West Coast’s tech-centric Silicon Valley is already being hailed as one of the best, buzziest books of 2020. (Be warned: It might make you rethink your reliance on your iPhone.)

Weather

The podcast revolution gets a name-check in this second novel from Department of Speculation writer Offill, who tells a complex story about an overburdened young librarian called upon to answer mail for her famous mentor.

Whistleblower

In 2017, 25-year-old Uber employee Fowler published a blog post detailing her account of sexual harassment at the company. Now she’s ready to share the full story, and it’s one that shouldn’t be missed.

Apartment

Sharing space can be a tricky proposition for any two people, especially in crowded New York; this novel delves into the experience of two writers cohabiting in the same apartment and uneasily learning to navigate life with each other.

The Lying Life of Adults

The news of this new Ferrante novel broke with an excerpt in September, but the full-length book about a young Neapolitan woman coming to terms with herself is sure to set the literary world on fire this summer.

Nothing Can Hurt You

This alarming, transfixing tale told from several different vantage points, all by people who have interacted with a gruesomely murdered college student, is a more literary Gone Girl for the new decade.
